Holy Hormones

I never thought a bad pedicure would make me cry.  Well at 36 weeks pregnant I guess it can do that to you.

I’ve been looking forward to a pedicure all week.  I figured it would be my last one before Sweetpea arrives so was having high hopes about it.  I went to the same place I’ve been going to for the past 3 years or so.

Well it was not wonderful.  There was a girl there before me who was probably 1/3 through her pedicure and we ended up leaving at the same time.  Yes, the girl that did mine went way too fast.  I would understand if they had a line of people but there wasn’t.  It was just me and the other girl getting pedicures.  Normally you get a foot and calf massage.  Well she never even massages my feet, just my calves.  My feet are carrying 30 extra pounds of weight right now; I really could have used it.  She barely took all the dead skin of the bottom of my feet.  It looks like a 2 year old did it.  And one of my toenails starting hurting when she was trying to shape it.  I shouldn’t have given her any tip.  She wasn’t worth the $1 I gave her.

It’s not the end of the world right?  We all get bad pedicures every now and then right?  I just wanted a good one so badly.  My body needed one.  I’m 36 weeks pregnant.  I’m so tired as I’m barely sleeping.   I just wanted one 30-45 minutes of pampering. 

I will get over it.  But for now, I guess I will let myself cry. 

On another note, we got to see Sweetpea yesterday and were finally able to get a really cute profile shot of him.  He is quite cute!  And I was so happy to hear that he is a normal size baby!  He is in the 51% percentile and approximately 6lb 4 oz.  Liam at this stage was in the 90% percentile and approximately 7lb 9oz.  Knowing Sweetpea is a normal size gives me hope that I can do a VBAC.  I want to more than anything.  I know it’s going to hurt badly but I want to experience it.  I haven’t dilated yet and he hasn’t engaged into my pelvis yet but it’s still early.   Whenever he is ready, I can’t wait to meet him!
